Am Am E E [verse 1] Am Johnny went down to the railroad track Am Said goodbye and he never came back E There's no body that was ever found E Just legends heard of him from miles and miles around [verse 2] Am Some say he was taken by a rapture Am And some say they've seen a man of his stature E Comin' in and comin' out of the woods E With a long beard and a long hood [solo] Am Am E E [verse 3] Am Oh what Johnny left behind Am Record collection, half bottle o' wine E Volume turned up and the radio on E Am The record spinning it was playing his song Am Singing "Johnny, Johnny be good!" Am Johnny walked right out of the neighborhood E Some say he left us too soon E Am Some say they hear him, he's howlin' at the moon Am Johnny Am Johnny E Johnny E Johnny [solo] Am Am E E [verse 4] Am One fine day I went out for a walk Am Behind the church, the neighborhood block E Behind the school and the railroad yard E Just when I thought that I went too far [verse 5] Am I went farther to the overlook Am The one in the pictures that Johnny took E He kept one tucked inside of his favorite book E Kept one taped to the dashboard of his truck [verse 6] Am Just when I thought it was getting late Am Full moon rose the clock struck eight E Took one last look then tuned around E And as I did I heard the strangest sound [verse 7] Am So I stopped, looked back saw a peculiar sight Am A silhouette inside the pale moonlight E An' something struck me strange, somehow I knew E The silhouette was Johnny E An' Johnny's howlin' at the- Am "Johnny, Johnny be good!" Am Johnny walked right out of the neighborhood E Some say he left us too soon E Some say they hear him, he's howlin' at the- Am "Johnny, Johnny be good!" Am Johnny walked right out of the neighborhood E Some say he left us too soon E Some say they hear him, he's howlin' at the moon Am Johnny Am Johnny E Johnny E Johnny
